Another fantastic day of music making

Another fantastic day of music making with the BrassforAfrica team. Jim Trott and Simon Hogg were based at the Bethlehem Orphanage in the morning taking a group of 30 brass players through their paces. The highlight was Simon performing on the hosepipe (rather than the trombone!) This went down very well with the children and he is unlikely to get this back!
Marc Edwards and myself spent the day at the mlisada home with two bands sight reading through many pieces and the results were very impressive. Among the tunes were, Circle of Life and Super Trouper, a bit of Slaidburn is on the menu tomorrow along with Jim's own  Mlisada March.
We finished at 4 after nearly 6 hours of playing, and on our return Jim needed to talk to one of the directors, Bosco, about tomorrow's programme.
In the background he could hear the brass band playing! 6 hours obviously not enough....
